This was for the "Eight my Words" skirmish. Here are the original word we had to incorporate into the song: hold · light · break · run · pocket · fall · edge · still

I went for a drive earlier to drop my wife off to see a friend. While driving, I was listening to Zoe Muth and the High Rollers - so I guess that's why this came out COUNTRY and included road based images.

When I saw the challenge I had a clear idea that I would write a three chord country song in my favourite key "G" - so it was easy to set up a backing track on Band in a Box

Lyrics came first though, as usual for me.

#biab #country

Even in the stillest of nights I can still see the light Though my pocket's empty as a desert in the sun I hold on to a picture of you Back when you were true I can never imagine you with another one

When you think the good times will last forever That's often when the curtain's about to fall When you're cruising through the night Ignoring the tail lights The crash that's coming may be worse than a close call

You said we needed a break I told you that was a mistake If you go too near the edge you risk it all You said I was longer fun And you'd decided to run It was all you wrote in the note I found in the hall

CHORUS

Three Chord Trick in G
